Chief Minister Gehlot is presenting the budget of 2021-22 of Rajasthan. His budget speech so far is focused on agriculture, health, and education. Gehlot has announced to present the state's agricultural budget separately from next year. Apart from this, Gehlot has also announced the opening of a Girls College in his constituency in the name of the 4 MLAs (3 Congress and 1 BJP) who died. In this, Kiran Maheshwari Kanya College in Rajsamand, Gajendra Singh Kanya College in Bhinder, Master Bhanwarlal Kanya College in Sujangarh, Kailash Trivedi Kanya College in Gangapur will be opened.

 

Gehlot also took a dig at the opposition during the budget speech. He said- I have drunk water seven times. Vasundhara Raje did not drink water even once when she presented the budget. This is a big deal. I am not cursing you for drinking water. My heart is full of love for the pros and cons. It was a big deal for Raje to speak without drinking water. You remember or not keep it. I still remember Gehlot said - please explain to Delhi, do not run the country with hate, anger.
